Shadow of the Colossus – Ps2
Rid the land of a dozen lumbering, ancient giants to free a princess from death's hand. Easy, no? Monstrous adversaries in sublimely rendered environments are the hallmarks of this original and existentially profound Japanese hit. MORE

Katamari is the most inventive interface yet invented for games. If you really think about it, the rolling action is the entire modality of gameplay and yet it is so addictive. MORE |

This game is a satire of modern consumerist society. The floors of Japanese houses are strewn with pop culture artifacts, and the objective is to clean the environment by rolling them up in a ball. MORE |

The J-Pop soundtrack is the entire MO of this game. Funky huh-huh says the narrator as you bounce into the garden in pursuit of small animals to roll up. Beach boys, lounge singers, and funksters are all given a J-Pop makeover. MORE |

My favorite surreal game. The game is a series of isolated objects in space, people, animals, buildings, and thumbtacks, and your goal is to roll them like a wad of tissue paper. As in other works of surrealist art, the depiction of alienated objects in space creates a profound sense of unease. The only solution is humor. MORE |
